Square, brown and black striped bag constructed from one piece of warp-faced plain weave. Constructed by folding in half lengthwise and sewing side edges together. Hole in the middle of one face now stitched with grey yarn; hole on the other side stitched with white thread. Several tufts of yarn stick out of area near the bag mouth. Strap is missing.
Warp-faced fabrics with three or four selvedges are woven by women on the indigenous style loom, a staked-out horizontal ground loom, or an adjustable tension (body) loom. The technique and structure have pre-Conquest antecedents, and as in ancient times, the fabrics are used in their rectangular form without cutting or shaping. Used for carrying food, like toasted wheat and corn, by young boys who herd sheep. This is a very traditional bag form throughout the Andes and extending back to ancient times.
Plain colour areas or stripes are warp-faced plain weave.
Children; everyday.
Made by Lucilia Huatta Cruz for her brother Esteban Huatta Cruz when they were both single. Used by him to carrying food when he herded sheep as a boy of 9 or 10.
